How to Get Glalie in Black 2 & White 2

Glalie Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Glalie brings 480 BST to the table. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Black 2 & White 2's meta. Explosion with Custapberry is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Black 2 & White 2, but Glalie does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Glalie hits 580 BST.
In Black 2 & White 2, Glalie's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel-type attackers are also a problem.
Inner Focus is the go-to ability for Glalie. It prevents flinching. Its hidden ability Moody can work in specific setups. Ice Body is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Glalie is a mixed attacker with base 80 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Glalie appears in 17 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 7.
